Learning Lab
The Learning Lab is a space for sharing, learning and experimenting dedicated to educational innovation at the University of Fribourg. Located on the second floor of the Bâtiment de Pérolles 21 (room A201), this space is open to the entire university community. Its objectives are:
- support pedagogical reflection
- technological experimentation
- interdisciplinary interaction
- to develop the digital and interdisciplinary skills of teachers and students at the University of Fribourg.
The Learning Lab provides technical and technological equipment for working, studying and teaching. It also offers a variety of activities such as interactive workshops, educational breaks on various topics related to teaching and learning, and an escape game to raise participants' awareness of IT security.
History of the project
The DigitalSkills@UNIFR project (2019-2020) has led to the unique design of a Learning Lab at the University of Fribourg and the testing of its first applications. During the project phase, the prototype was located in the former Laboratoire d'Innovation Pédagogique (LIP) at Regina Mundi.
From 2021, as part of the continuation of the DigitalSkills@Fribourg project (2021-2024), the Department of Computer Science (DIUF) and the teaching team of the New Technologies and Teaching Centre (Centre NTE-DIT) took over the Learning Lab project. A link was then established with the Fachschaft Informatique so that students could participate in the management of the Learning Lab. From 2024, the Learning Lab Living Space (room A201) and the Teaching & Learning Space (room B205) will be attached to the University Didactics and Digital Skills Department, while the Project Space (room A200) and the Fab Lab (room 260) will be managed by the DIUF.
